Provide compliant payroll with ease thanks to our New Zealand payroll solutions
When expanding globally, payroll is just one of the many aspects of core business management that your company will have to undertake. Allowing you to focus on your business’ growth, Leap29’s bespoke New Zealand payroll solutions take this hassle and lift it from your shoulders. Whether it’s processing multi-country payroll, or ensuring your employees are consistently paid the correct amounts on-time – our payroll specialists can help make your business’ expansion into New Zealand smooth-sailing.
Running Payroll in New Zealand
Juggling the many aspects of global expansion into New Zealand, as well as ensuring your employees are paid accurately and on-time, can seem like a daunting prospect. If you also take into account foreign tax regulations, multi-currency transactions, and different time zones – this can pose an even more complex challenge.
As a business expanding its operations into New Zealand, you will need to:
- Register as an employer with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).
- Collect employee information, including their full name, address, IRD number, bank account details, tax code (IR330 form) and in some cases, their KiwiSaver contribution details (this is a voluntary pension savings scheme for the employee).
- Ensure all employees have a compliant contract of employment and monitor the hours they have worked.
- Comply with PAYE (Pay As You Earn) regulations by calculating and deducting tax from your employees’ wages each pay period and reporting the pay details for your employees to the IRD each payday.
- Register for ACC (Accident Compensation Company) levies – paid by both the employer and the employee to cover work-related injury claims.
The above, along with record-keeping, navigating New Zealand tax regulations, calculating benefits, and issuing compliant payslips, can force your business into spreading its time, money, and resources too thin. This is where Leap29’s reliable New Zealand Payroll Solutions come in – our highly-skilled team has over 25 years of experience in simplifying global payroll for 180+ countries across the world.

New Zealand Expansion Advice
How can our global payroll services support your expansion into New Zealand?
With an economic freedom score of 78.1, New Zealand was the 11th freest economy in the 2025 index of economic freedom, providing your business with a great opportunity to reap the benefits of this country’s well-established markets. However, to be able to reap these benefits without losing sight of core business management and compliance – you’ll need a reliable PEO provider to support your global expansion.
The potential risk of non-compliance is just one of the many obstacles that presents itself to companies looking to expand on a global scale. On top of that risk, comes the challenge of ensuring your business accurately and efficiently issues payroll to your employees. If you take these challenges and add to them the responsibilities of calculating salaries, creating payslips, processing multi-country transactions, and much more – these complex tasks are guaranteed to not only consume valuable time and resources, but also delay your time to market. With our New Zealand payroll solutions, we can manage all of the above for you, while ensuring full compliance with local employment laws.
Our New Zealand payroll solutions cover:
- Calculating salaries
- Creating monthly or weekly payslips
- Calculating tax-free allowances and progressive tax rates
- Submitting tax returns
- Filing annual wage reports
- Managing expenses and employee benefits
- Complying with immigration, tax and insurance laws
- Processing multi-currency payments with minimal administration
- Complying with New Zealand employment laws
